The Archer family — parents, Adam and Rachel, and daughters Jules and Riley — deliver a Thanksgiving meal
to an apartment dweller as part of the free community Thanksgiving dinner at Hermiston High School.
Diners donate money
to local food pantry
By ANTONIO SIERRA
East Oregonian
Pilot Rock is normally considered
a sleepy town, but the Thanksgiving
Day scene in the downtown area was
practically catatonic.
What wasn’t already closed shut-
tered early — Coffee Station No. 1
was closed by 9 a.m., the Family Foods
grocery store was done by the early
afternoon and anyone who wanted
to pump gas at the Shell gas station
would have to do so themselves.
Instead of shortened operating
hours however, Archie’s Restaurant
at 194 Main Street offered a special
service: a free Thanksgiving meal.
For three hours Thursday, co-owners
Daniel Contway and Richard Carnes
offered turkey, mashed potatoes and
a full Thanksgiving spread to anyone
who stopped by.
Despite not opening until noon, the
Archie’s staff had been working since
6 a.m. to get the meal ready. As the
diners started to trickle in, Contway
greets most of them by their fi rst name.
Now in its seventh year, Contway
said the Archie’s Thanksgiving meal
started as a way to offer some sort of

service to travelers who couldn’t fi nd
anything else open on Thanksgiving.
The meal evolved further when
Archie’s partnered with the Pilot Rock
Food Pantry in its second year. Archie’s
would still serve a Thanksgiving meal
for free, but patrons would be asked to
pay it forward and donate to the food
pantry.
Although donating was completely
voluntary, the glass vase where
donations were accepted already had a
hefty amount. Contway said Archie’s
had already collected $860 by the time
the restaurant opened on Thursday,
which meant it was on track to surpass
last year’s $1,200 total.
